WHAT a lucky fan!

The South Korean boy group Seventeen recently released a new single under one of its subunits that features a rapper who happens to be one of its avid fans.

One of Seventeen’s subunit, BSS, or the acronym for BooSeokSoon, reunited on Monday to drop its first single album called SECOND WIND. This album is composed of three songs namely Fighting, LUNCH, and 7PM.

The SVT BSS album is a collaboration between Norwegian artist Peder Elias and South Korean female rapper Lee Youngji, who is also a Carat or a Seventeen fan.

Fans were in awe when the three-piece subunit composed of Hoshi, DK, and Seungkwan, released the official music video for their song Fighting featuring Youngji.

Fighting is an energetic pop song with an exciting funk rhythm that exhibits the thirst for living of those in the modern era.

SVT fans also praised their “Carat representative” for killing the rap part after the second chorus, which includes several Seventeen references and showcases her exceptional skills.

Lee Youngji actually has all the requirements you need to be in SVT. An outstanding dancer, the very first female winner in SMTM, an all around great performer, and liked by majority of the entertainment industry… she IS the 14th member of SVT

Carats on Twitter also envied Youngji for living the ultimate fangirl dream. According to them, Youngji literally went from stanning Seventeen and her bias, Hoshi, to being featured in one of the group’s subunits.

youngji is the ultimate winner like how do u go from stanning svt, biasing hoshi, getting the opp to talk to him one on one over some drinks, winning 2 rap competitions(& being the first female to win in one of them) AND THEN featuring in the tt of svt special unit with said bias
